2. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 1, wherein the sensor is connected to the front camera that is installed to face the front of the vehicle and photographs the front image of the vehicle, and senses a light source from the front image photographed by the front camera.

3

3. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 2, wherein the sensor divides the front image into a plurality of ranges, and senses a location of the light source based on an illuminance of each of the divided ranges.

4

4. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 1, wherein the recognition camera is installed to face the driver in an interior of the vehicle and photographs a facial image of the driver.

5

5. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 4, wherein the processor recognizes eyes of the driver from the facial image photographed by the recognition camera, and detects the state of the driver based on the recognized eyes of the driver.

6

6. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 4, wherein the processor recognizes an eyeball area of the driver from the facial image photographed by the recognition camera, and detects an illuminance of a divided eyeball area.

7

7. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 1, wherein the processor determines that the glare occurs when the processor detects the illumination distribution of the face in a state where the illuminance of the eyeball area is greater than or equal to a predetermined illumination, or when the processor detects the state of the driver where an opening amount of the eyes of the driver is less than or equal to a predetermined opening amount.

8

8. The driving assistance system for a driver according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to crop the front image and display the cropped front image on the display device.

10

10. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 9, wherein the step of sensing the state in front of the vehicle and photographing the face of the driver further comprises a step of sensing a light source from the front image, after photographing an image of the front of the vehicle with the front camera installed to face the front of the vehicle, sensing the state in front of the vehicle, and photographing the face of the driver.

11

11. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 10, wherein in the step of sensing the light source, the front image is divided into a plurality of ranges, and a location of the light source is sensed based on an illuminance of each of the divided ranges.

12

12. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 9, wherein in the step of sensing the state in front of the vehicle and photographing the face of the driver, a facial image of the driver is photographed with a recognition camera installed to face the driver in an interior of the vehicle.

13

13. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 12, wherein in the step of detecting the illuminance distribution of the face or the state of the driver, eyes of the driver are recognized from the facial image photographed by the recognition camera, and the state of the driver is detected based on the recognized eyes of the driver.

14

14. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 12, wherein in the step of detecting the illuminance distribution of the face or the state of the driver, an eyeball area of the driver is recognized from the facial image photographed by the recognition camera, and an illuminance of a divided eyeball area is detected.

15

15. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 9, wherein in the step of determining whether the glare by light at the driver occurs, the glare is determined to occur when the illuminance distribution of the face is detected in a state where an illuminance of the eyeball area is greater than or equal to a predetermined illuminance, or when the state of the driver where an opening amount of the eyes of the driver is less than or equal to a predetermined opening amount is detected.

16

16. The driving assistance method for a driver according to claim 9, wherein in the step of displaying of the front image, the front image is cropped and the cropped front image is displayed on the display device.
